Chapter 57
Eunuch Liu still remembered that it was a scorching night.All the people in the palace came out to enjoy the cool, and they were sweating like they were in a hot spring when they were bored in the room.

But in the imperial concubine's palace, it is busy, coming in and out, everyone's face is full of anxiety and joy - because the imperial concubine is about to give birth!

Calculated according to the number of days, the imperial concubine's baby was considered premature, but the nurse who delivered the baby said that the imperial concubine was young and in good health, so there shouldn't be any problems.

So everyone waited on her carefully, the imperial concubine was in good condition, Eunuch Liu was an old man in the palace, so he was guarding outside at that time, ready to announce the good news at any time.

Sure enough, the imperial concubine not only gave birth to a child safely, but also lived up to everyone's expectations, and really gave birth to a prince for the emperor!
With the degree of favor she received at that time, it was already a certainty from a noble concubine to an imperial concubine.Just waiting for the emperor to come back from praying for rain and announce the good news.

However, this is a happy event for them, but it is equivalent to a nightmare for others.

When the queen brought someone in, no one reacted.Eunuch Liu was going to go forward to announce the good news, but when he saw the empress coming with someone aggressively, he immediately felt something was wrong.

So without even thinking about it, he quickly trotted all the way and rushed into the inner hall.He knelt outside the curtain and told the imperial concubine about it.

The imperial concubine was still weak at the time, but she made a decision immediately.She first arranged for people to stop the queen outside, and then turned away the others, leaving Eunuch Liu alone with the mother holding the prince.

"Eunuch Liu, although we haven't known each other for long, I know that you are reliable." Eunuch Liu's life was saved when the imperial concubine entered the palace. He favored him, so he tried every means to bring down the old eunuch.

At that time, the imperial concubine asked the emperor to send herself to her to do things.Said that she had just come to the palace, and she needed an old man to accompany her and be familiar with the rules of the palace.

There are so many teaching nuns in the palace, how can one expect him as a eunuch for this kind of thing?
But the emperor dotes on the imperial concubine, so he agreed to his request without hesitation.

Eunuch Liu knelt outside the curtain, already having a bad premonition in his heart.And what the imperial concubine said next also confirmed his conjecture.

"You and Nanny carry the baby and walk through the back door, find a place to hide. Unless the emperor returns to the palace, otherwise, don't believe anyone!"

The wind from outside came in through the window, and it was unknown which careless court lady actually opened the window.The gauze curtain was lifted, Eunuch Liu didn't dare to look up, in a panic, he only caught sight of the imperial concubine's hand firmly grasping the edge of the bed.

The whiter the hand was, the more terrifying the veins on it were. She seemed to have exhausted her last strength and asked: "You must protect him!"

The empress had already led people into the palace gate, Eunuch Liu didn't dare to hesitate, and together with his mother, he led the prince to leave through the back door, not daring to stop a step.

He has been in the palace for so many years, so he naturally knows where there are few passers-by, so he avoids them all the way. Mammy leaves.

It's strange to say that Gu Xingzhi was just born at that time, and he was worried that the little prince would cry on the road and attract attention.

But from the beginning to the end, except for crying and shouting when he was born, Gu Xingzhi didn't even make a sound!

This is obviously not normal, but Eunuch Liu didn't care so much at the time, he just wanted to find a safe place to hide the little prince.

So when he hid in the abandoned palace with his mother, he discovered that the little prince had just fallen into a coma!
Fortunately, that nanny is also experienced, so she quickly hugged the little prince aside and let him deal with it.They didn't have anything in their hands, but the nanny was originally a wet nurse for the prince, so they didn't worry about starving the little prince.

After that night, they hid in the abandoned palace, not knowing what was going on outside.But the queen obviously found out that the little prince was not there, so she even sent people to search the whole palace.

Many times, the patrolling soldiers passed by the gate of the palace, and even broke the seal to come in and have a look.But because the palace was overgrown with weeds and dust everywhere, the soldier didn't do his duty very well, so he glanced at it hastily and left.

He and the nanny were in fear all the time, it's nothing if he gave up his life, but the little prince was brought out by the imperial concubine desperately, he can't be trusted!
Fortunately, after the emperor heard the news of the imperial concubine's birth, he rushed back day and night.However, he never imagined that when he ran so fast, what he saw was a corpse!
It turned out that the queen led people into the imperial concubine's palace that day, and threatened that there were evil spirits in the palace, so she wanted to kill the demons and relieve the emperor's worries!

At that time, the emperor had not long been on the throne, and his status was not yet stable.Coupled with the severe drought in the world, there are also many criticisms of the emperor from outside.Especially in the court, if it wasn't for the empress' relatives to block it, there would probably be a lot of trouble.

So the empress is in full swing in the harem, even if the emperor loves the imperial concubine, he dare not really abandon the empress.

When he knew that the imperial concubine was bestowed with a cup of poisoned wine by the queen, he was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood immediately!However, the queen threatened that the imperial concubine would give birth, and a vision would come from the sky. She did this for the sake of the country.

The emperor begged for rain day and night, but the sky never sent a drop of water.The empress was tearful, saying that the imperial concubine is a wicked evildoer who will bring disaster to the country, and the emperor was deceived by her beautiful appearance!

Everyone knew that this was just an excuse for the Queen.But she was in power at the time and was extremely rampant, even if she knew that her words were full of loopholes, she didn't care.

After all, the emperor also had to rely on her father, without her father being stable in the court, the emperor might not be the emperor!
No one knew what the emperor's state of mind was at that time.The woman he loves the most is lying in front of him, dying with regret.As for his child, there was no news.

However, he couldn't even defend her...

Fortunately, although the emperor could not defend the imperial concubine, he insisted that the prince was innocent.Now the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, and the world is still in severe drought, which means that the heaven is still punishing them.

As soon as the ghosts and gods said, it was the empress who did it on purpose. Now that the emperor used this trick to deal with him, he could only suffer from being dumb.

Anyway, it's just a baby, it's hard to say whether it can grow up safely, so why bother to kill it?

So she did not interfere with the emperor's search for the prince, and she reached a final agreement with the emperor.After all, the thorn in her side has been removed, and no one will be favored by the emperor from now on, so she is content.

It's just that she didn't expect that this compromise would cause such a great harm to herself!
